The Minister for Community Development, Gender, Women, and Special Groups, Hon. Dr. Dorothy Gwajima, has called on all leaders and members of the Council of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to work with professionalism, integrity, and patriotism.
She made this call while launching the new Council of these organizations on June 25, 2024, in Dodoma, after the term of the Council inaugurated in 2021 under the former chairperson, Dr. Lilian Badi, had ended. The new chairperson, Mr. Jasper Makala, has now taken over.
Minister Dr. Gwajima urged them to work in accordance with existing laws, regulations, and guidelines to meet the expectations of the Tanzanian community as a whole.
"It should be remembered that NGOs have been implementing projects and initiatives in various operational areas, including health, agriculture, education, water, environment, good governance, energy, social preservation, community empowerment, and other cross-cutting sectors," said Minister Dr. Gwajima.
She stated that training new council members is within the Ministry's capabilities through the Office of the Registrar of Non-Governmental Organizations.
The National Council of Non-Governmental Organizations was established under Section 25(1) of the Non-Governmental Organizations Act, Chapter 56 of the Laws of Tanzania. According to Regulations 5(a)(iv), 5(b)(ii), and 5(c)(v) of the 2016 Election Regulations of the National Council of Non-Governmental Organizations, the Council is required to hold elections every three years.
